Ballarat Race 13

Prize Money: $1,530

KATE'S RIFT (6) was out of the placings last time but before that was an impressive winner (22.53) in a Grade 5 at this track. Look for sharp improvement here. TALTARNI LANE (2) was quickly into stride and found the front last start to record an all-the-way win (22.58) at this track in a Grade 5 over 390m. Can go close again if runs up to latest figure. BLAME KARISSA (7) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, finishing in the money last time when 2nd at this track over 390m. Well placed and gets her chance. PAW JERRY (3) is right in the mix.
